It was not the grief on your face
That worried me,
It was the lack of inspiration,
Coming from this desperate situation.
For how could I offer any comfort
If I could not convert
Your all consuming pain,
Into a poem.
Like a photographer in a war zone
I try to capture the moment,
Using the most shocking of sights
just to fullfil those often lonely nights.

I would like to translate this poem
Tragically true. I imagine a thousand of us could say the same thing at this very moment. But you say it better.
